Acer XZ342CUP Tech specs this monitor should have a Color Depth not as advertised

StefanvH

Hello,

Ik have the Acer XZ342CUP Curved Ultrawide, and according to the Tech specs this monitor should have a Color Depth of 8 bpc
https://www.acer.com/us-en/monitors/gaming/nitro-xz2/pdp/UM.CX2AA.P05

However in Windows 10 in the Display settings it shows a color depth of 6 bpc.
I am using an Asus TUF Gaming RX 6900 XT (AMD) GPU and also the AMD Adrenalin software shows the color depth of 6 bpc.
If i try to set it to 8 bpc in the Adrenalin software the screen just goes black for a second and comes back but the Color Depth is still at 6 bpc.

Are the specs of this display incorrect or is my display broken ?

Yes, published spec indicates it should be 24-bit total RGB color depth, so 8-bits for each color. So maybe you got a lemon. Or maybe production changes were made without to a cheaper panel. Or maybe your software isn't reporting correctly. I doubt the display is broken. However, before jumping to any conclusions, I suggest going to this link, downloading and installing the Windows drivers and display widget app. You can also download the user manual from the same link.
